New York Investigators exists for one reason: hiring a private investigator should not be a leap of faith.
New York licenses private investigators for good reason — the work touches people's safety, money and court cases. But a license number buried on a state website does not help a worried parent or a busy attorney at 11pm. Online, a slick site and a bold claim look the same as thirty years of real casework.
So claims go unchecked. Good investigators get lumped in with bad ones. And clients find out the difference the expensive way.
NYI verifies what investigators claim — license, insurance, years in business, reputation and skills — and turns each checked claim into a public credential. The rules are published on the certifications page. The results are published in the directory. Nothing is taken on faith, and nothing is for sale.
